I bought Jennifer Lopez's album on the 6 and i absolutely loved it, as a matter of fact i still play it frequently. I also Bought J.Lo which was another good album. It had catchy songs on and included some Spanish songs. She then released the remixes album which i loved as she made a lot of the songs into club bangers. After that "This is me then" was released but i didn't buy that because i listened to it at my friend's house and i thought she had just made a fool of herself. The songs were weak and j.lo was starting to lose it. Then came Rebirth. I decided to buy this album without reading critics opinions or listening to my friends.

1. Get Right ~ This was a great first single. She was back at her best. it had a catchy, club beat. Nice cheery lyrics and i also used to look forward to this song being played in the clubs.
2. Step Into My World ~ This was a new song genre she was experimenting in, it is rather sexual and kind of reminds me of Janet Jackson's stuff. It took me some time to grow on me, but i eventually fell in love with the slow and sulty chorus.
3. Hold You Down ~ A great song which sounds like she's gone back to her roots, involving good old fat joe. The song is easy to sing along and for some reason puts you in a happy mood.
4. Whatever You Wanna Do ~ This song is quite R'n'B ish but uses a lot of instruments. In my opinion this is one of the weaker links on the album as her voice doesn't sound that good on this track.
5. Cherry Pie ~ I do love this song, it's a summery song that everyone sings along too. Even though the lyrics are soo cheesy, it's a great feel good song and i'm surprised she didn't release this song as a single.
6. I Got You ~ One of my favourite songs on the album. Great beat, voice sounds great, nice and uptempo, lovely lyrics.
7. Still Around ~ This track is so so, doesn't do anything for me, a bit cliche when she's talking about holding hands etc.
8. Ride or Die ~ Sounds like a song aaliyah would do. Really R'n'B and it suits J.Lo really well. She sounds really sultry on this song and yet again she tries something new.
9. I Love ~ First real slow song on the album. This is a alright song to chill too and have it playing in the background. Nice song when your listening to music with your girlfriend/boyfriend.
10. He'll Be Back ~ reminds me of another song thats out at the moment but i can't put my finger on it. Doesn't bring anything new to the game of R'n'B and pop today for female singers.
11. (Can't Believe) This Is Me ~ Shows off her vocal talent on this track really well. A slow song with a great electric guitar. Reminds me of spanish music and she sounds really beautiful on it.
12. Bonus Track: Get Right featuring Fabolous ~ Same song as the opening track but with more of a Hip Hop edge to it. Fabolous suits the song well and it gives the Hip Hop Audience the proof they can like R'n'B aswell.

The DVD that comes with the album includes the whole album, but in enhanced stereo sound and it includes some cool features. There is a rebirth documentary which gives us an insight of the work put in by J.LO to make this cool, funky album. We get to see her in the studio, singing and writing ideas down. It also includes the get right video and the new get right video with fabolous in.

All in all i really like this album. I think J.Lo had a low with her last album, but because a few of her songs remind me of her earlier stuff i really like the songs. Most of the lyrics are about relationships. She knows no matter what she's always got her man, or she would ride or die just for her man. The whole album is obviously based on her marriage to Marc Anthony.
If your not going to buy the whole album i would suggest downloading : I Got U, Cherry Pie, Get Right & Ryde or Die. All J.Lo fans should buy this album because i think J.Lo is back on the up in her music career and i can't wait for her next album to be released.
